The international community should bring to Armenia’s attention that
they should withdraw their armed forces from the occupied Azerbaijani
territories if they wish to become a part of Europe, the Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister, Elmar Mammadyarov, stated at the meeting with the
co-rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
(PACE), Tony Lloyd and Andreas Herkel,Trend reports with reference
to the statement by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
He stressed that Armenia, who is a member of an authoritative
organization such as the Council of Europe, has occupied 20%
of Azerbaijani territory by breaking all international norms and
principles, and as a result, more than one million Azeri people
have become refugees and internally displaced persons in their own
country. The international community should demand that Armenia bring
to an end to its aggressive policy.
PACE co-rapporteurs voiced their hope for the peaceful regulation
process of the conflict.
